Celebration of Light
This is the seventh year that Quakers have
organised this event for the people in Wellington
and beyond. It is intended as a secular event. The Peace garden which is
used as a quiet place to sit and reflect in The Quaker Meeting House Wellington
( next door to the One Shop), is transformed by greenery and hundreds of tiny
candlelit lanterns. People who know about it come back year on year. We
intend it as an alternative Christmas Celebration, that of appreciating light
in the darkness and the silence. ( there is little light pollution in the Quaker Peace
Garden ). Children
are often overawed by the experience. We invite peopled to come and look on the
same day the lights are switched on in Wellington ,
Nov 22. The lit garden is open on three more dates Nov 26 Dec 3 and Dec 10th
Children are particularly welcome One of the features is to walk the spiral of
light and perhaps reflect on the non commercial meaning of Christmas and our
love for one another and all living things including our own planet.
